A monitoring network is a system of sensors or data collection devices that are strategically placed throughout a specific area in order to gather data on various variables or phenomena. The purpose of a monitoring network is to track and monitor changes over time, detect trends, and provide real-time data for decision-making. This data can be used for a wide range of applications, such as environmental monitoring, weather forecasting, disaster management, and industrial process control. Monitoring networks can be set up for various purposes, such as air quality monitoring, water quality monitoring, seismic monitoring, and more. The data collected from these monitoring networks can be analyzed and used to provide valuable insights into the state of the environment or the specific area being monitored.
